I'm the sort of person that doesn't need Science to tell me what is and what isn't.
My inner sense and knowing tells me what feels right for me and what doesn't
I am aware that not everyone is like me and that some of us need explanations and proof.
That we are ONE and that we are interconnected , I have known for a long time.
Here is something for those who need more proof
In Physics, there is a theory known as Quantum Entanglement which occurs when two particles are created from a single source and then split in two in a laboratory setting. Once split, these two photons will be exact opposites of each other. They will be perfect mirror images and once created, will ALWAYS mirror one another. If these photons are allowed to separate and only one is exposed to a magnetic field to increase its spin, the spin of the other particle will also change (albeit in the opposite direction). The other particle INSTANTLY acquires the opposite quantum state of the particle exposed to the magnetic field.
Basically, what Quantum Entanglement tells us is that particles of energy communicate with one another. And it doesn't matter if the two particles are ten inches, ten miles or ten thousand miles away. They instantly communicate with one another. This not only indicates that energy is thinking stuff, it indicates that each particle also knows what energy particles elsewhere are doing. That means all energy, everywhere, is connected. And since we are made of energy, as is everything else, that means we are connected, too.
I mention Quantum Entanglement because I have always been one of those people who likes to know how and why everything works and, for me, the QE theory beautifully explains why blessing works and why, when we bless, our blessings are always reflected back to us. We are wonderful, cosmic, universal, intrinsically energetic and spiritual beings and what we give out to others comes back. We are part of the Divine Harmony of the universe.
In his book, Blessing, The Art and Practice, author David Spangler defines blessing as "...a moment of reconnection with each other, with the world, and with the source of our being." In this sense, blessing reawakens us of who and what we are, re-linking us to our origin, reminding us we are ONE.
BLESSINGS to one and all !
